I do find the monotonic behaviour of auto-increment useful, not from

Couldnt we get that, only better, by having a fast timestamp field?

It would make so much sense and make so much possible to just have every
row always get a guid and highrez timestamp on creation.


Except for the extra size overhead in that.

-100 for any automatic-added-to-any-row stuff


But it would make replication so *easy*.

Maybe a sync magic type? Or a native UUID and native highrez timestamp type, and have replication just magically know to use them if they are defined for a table?
